SAN FRANCISCO—The newest Pixel is a just an Android tablet. The Pixel C doesn't run Chrome OS, it's a 10.2-inch Android tablet with a removable keyboard. Pixel apparently isn't a Chrome OS-exclusive product line anymore.
While it doesn't run Chrome OS, Pixel C does inherit the design and build quality of the Pixel line. It's an all-aluminum silver laptop with a minimal squared-off design. The back of the device has the traditional Googlely-colored Pixel logo, which is a straight line with red, green, blue, and yellow segments. The line is actually a light, and tapping the back display the remaining battery power by lighting up part of the logo.
The removable keyboard sticks to the tablet only with magnets. When closed, the magnets align the keyboard to the tablet, making for a tidy rectangle. The keyboard can also stick to the back of the device with the screen exposed. For "laptop mode" there is a hinged magnetic plate on the keyboard that the screen sticks to. The hinge will go from about 100 degrees to a completely flat 180 degrees, and like a laptop hinge, it is stiff enough to sit at any angle in between.
